First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the. . Flywheel generators are emerging as a prominent solution in backup power and energy storage. Torus Spin, our flywheel battery, stores energy kinetically. With a POWERBRIDGE™, stored energy levels are certain and there is no environmental disposal issue to manage in the future.
